Borderlands: Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
Borderlands was a great new spin on the FPS genre and The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned DLC only improved the formula. Unfortunately, Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot only performs a ‘me too’ by adding little more than a ‘horde mode’ to the original title. To make matters worse, it is advertised as being able to ...
Mass Effect 2 – Review (PC, X360)
In 2007, the RPG genre was shaken at its very roots by a studio we thought had done their part in forming that particular aspect of gaming. BioWare, the potential grandparents of Role-Playing Games, and the creators of Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic and Neverwinter Nights, decided to give us a glimpse at the future of RPGs.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion – Review (PC, X360, PS3)
After playing Elder Scrolls IV for three years, and having just finished it for the first time, I can say this: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is the deepest, the longest, the most involving and the most addictive RPG I have ever played. For starters, Elder Scrolls IV is a 200 hour long game and that ...
Dragon Age: Origins – Review (PS3, X360, PC)
With a Tolkien-esque story, a deep, involving and varied gameplay structure, stellar music effects and a rich, vivid world, Dragon Age is paradise for fantasy RPG lovers, and a must buy for all those who call themselves gamers…
Borderlands – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
Blending genres doesn’t usually work too well, as the games typically turn out as watered down version of each included style. It is because of this that Borderlands is a daring prospect. Not only does it blend two very different types of games, but it attempts to lay claim to a whole new genre, the ...
Fallout 3: Broken Steel
There were many pretensions to the obviously successful Fallout 3 soon after its release: the Oblivion engine degrading the presentation, the lack of the original’s atmosphere, and other fanboy-based rantings for no apparent reason. However, what many agreed on, was the lower-than-expected scale and continuity of the main storyline, as opposed to the insormountable numbers ...
Fallout 3: Point Lookout
Fallout 3 was a major hit last year. From the art direction, styIe, and gameplay, to the insormountable amount of hype to which the game practically lived up to, it represented an almost perfect example of an epic comeback. To be honest, it would stand out for a long time without noteable expansions, but Bethesda ...
Fallout 3
We waited for many years, preparing for an epic comeback of the series. But when Bethesda Studios was named the developer for Fallout 3, the gamers mentioned above took a deep sigh. Elder Scrolls: Oblivion was great, yes, but it had flaws that were unacceptable for Fallout. Today, one thing can be said for sure:
Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta – Review (X360, PC)
I have been constantly impressed with the downloadable content that has been available for Fallout 3. Each new DLC has been quite different than the last and each has been a worthy experience. That is, until now. Somehow, the final (planned) download has managed to ignore everything that made the game it is based on ...
Overlord
This is one of those rare titles that tries to blend several different genres and actually does a pretty good job of pulling it off. There are equal amounts of action, role playing, strategy and even a touch of puzzle solving in the game and all are done well. It is weak in some areas ...
